After getting his BS in geophysics from Southern Methodist University, Mario worked in the oil and gas industry for roughly five years in two distinct roles: exploration geophysicist and operation geophysicist. He has experience with modelling of geopressure, wellbore stability, subsurface hazard assessment and seismic interpretation and prospect generation.
My research interests are in advanced rock mechanics and its applications to carbon sequestration. Outside of work, I enjoy exercising, traveling and reading.
